That would preclude most teams from taking NFL draft type of deals (i.e. #3 overall for rounds 1, 2, 3, and next year's 2).<BR/><BR/>What are the lines going to be tonight? <BR/>Ovy - Abhinavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829868560243905214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-67439748867827817352007-02-27T15:51:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:51:00.000-05:00Crappy draft, though, by all accounts, with a big ...Crappy draft, though, by all accounts, with a big drop at #20 or so.

He signed that rumored extension earlier this year, right? <BR/><BR/>I also think that the Caps could, in theory, package a bunch of picks to move into the top three if they wanted to.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235054856583026039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-77527057220514910182007-02-27T15:44:00.000-05:002007-02-27T15:44:00.000-05:00Rage -Yes and no.

The question is, is it stocked enough now to start making some bigger moves?
